Simple WorkFlow

Hi,
I am working on a simple Work Flow BOR object FIPP. To the step "User Decision" I need to add the ability to choose an employee who receives a document as the next.
I get a document, choose the activity, choose who gets the document as another (eg, acceptance).
How can I do that?

You can define Rule using PFAC_INS and add it to the agent assignment. The rule can have logic to retrieve employees by some logic. There are standard rules like getting a supervisor.

Simple workflow question

Hi,
I started implementing a simple workflow and now I have a problem and I don'z know how to solve it using the technology of SAP-workflow.
I created two workflows in SWDD (WS...). The first workflow calls the othe workflow in a special case. This is done by using a standard link with a activity (linked to WS instead of TS).
Now I want to have that all the activities implemented in the second workflow should be done by one user of a group of user.
The problem I now have is that in every step of the second workflow (e.g. user decisions) I have to set the agents. In my case this is a group of users. So the problem occurs if agent A1 makes the first descision, another person B2 can do the following steps of this workflow.
What I want to have is something like "a workitem with several steps included", that means when agent A1 selects the workitem, the following steps should only go to this agent and not to every agent that is in the group of persons for that task.
Hard to describe I think. I hope you understand what I tried to mention here...
Thank you for your support!

Hi.
I am not sure if I understod correctly, but maybe I did.
First step: I assume that you have several agents for this step, and anyone can execute it? Well, you can bind the container element actual_agent from this step back to the workflow. The actual agent will be the user who completed the work item (or step). You can bind the element to for example an element called LastAgent (that you need to create to your workflow container).
Following steps: Instand of using the same rule (or agent finding logic) as you did in the first steps, you can now use an expression in the agent determination. And the expression should be now the LastAgent. Easy.
Now all the following steps will be seen only by the agent who completed the first step.

Hi,
Step - 1 - To create a Workflow template
1. Open transaction PFTC_INS
2. Choose Task type as Workflow Template.
3. Click Create Button.
4. In the Basic Data tab enter abbrevation (usually user defined name) in the ABBR field. Enter name of the workflow.
5. Click on the Container tab, Click Create Element Button. Enter the Name of the container in the new screen, Element (name) and desription.
in the D. Type tab Choose Object type as BOR OBJECT TYPE and enter BUS2032( Business obejct for for sales order).
In the properties tab check the following checkboxes,import, export,mandatory checkboxes.
6. in the triggering events tab choose Object category as BOR Object type and BUS Object as BUS2032. Now open the F4 help screen for Event field and choose CREATED event.
7. Click the button (Event Creator) with diamond image on it. This will save and activates the evet. Now Choose the record in the table control and clikc the Green color button with quick info as Call Binding editor. This open the bindign editor where you can bind your event with the Container created in the step 5.
8. Now save the workflow template.
9. Click the Additonal Data->agent assignment->maintain. Now click on the Attributes button on the application toolbar and define the attributes for the workflow template. Define the workflow template as Generic.
10. Now save and exit the transaction.
Step - 2 - To create a Standard task.
11. Open transaction PFTC_INS. Choose Task type as Standard task and click the Create button,
12. Enter values in ABBR and Name fields. In the Work Item Text, enter the text that should displayed as Subject of the mail. for example : A new Sales Order is created.
In the Object Method - Choose the Object category as BOR Obejct type.
Object Type as BUS2032 - for sales Order
Method - as Display ( this will display the sales Order to the concerned user).
In the execution - Click Background processing and Confirm End processing.
13. In the Container tab - create a container. as expalined above. This container can be used for later purpose also.
15. Click Additional Data->agent Assignement->maintain. now choose the Assign agent button and assign a USer for the task. This user will receive the mail.
16. Now save and exit the transaction.
STEP - 3 - Attach the Task to the Template.
17. Open Transaciton PFTC_CHG. Enter the Workflow template number generated in the first step. Choose the Task type as Wrokflow template.
18. Click the Workflow builder button. Now you can c the flow of the transactions. Right click the Undefined task image and create a task. Enter the task number generated in the Second step. save the workflow template.
STEP -4 - Execution.

Simple Workflow proces

I am trying to create a simple workflow process; using OW4J it starts calls a java class and then ends. The log tells me that is executing the item type however the class method is not being executed(nothing happens); no errors are being displayed. Has anyone tried to do this and if yes can you please post a quick sample or offer some guidance.
Thanks.

Hello,
We are working on an integration project using interconnect 4.1 and workflow.
In interconnect we use content based routing, for workflow we defined routing rules.
When using the workflow integration we succeeded in receiving an event FROM
interconnect TO workflow (WF_IN agent), when we complete the workflow proces (simple approve)
we want to send an event back FROM workflow TO interconnect : but we don't know
how to do this!
- To which Agent do we have to send our event using the workflow builder (to agent, out agent?) ?
- How do we have to define that agent (adress, Queue Handler, Queue Name, direction)?
- Is there any documentation about this?
Greetings,
Jan Marckx Hi,
I remember feeling your pain. Hope I'm not too late, or that you got it already.
You sound like you already have two routing rules for your event
APP1 -> WORKFLOW, WORKFLOW -> APP2.
You need to create a process bundle in iStudio in Design mode with some Publish and Subscribe
activities under it.
In the Deploy tab, right click on Workflow and Deploy Event definitions to Workflow Bus. System
and create the .wft file.
Go into WF and check if the events show up in the Events page.
Go into WF Builder and open the .wft file.
Look for your Publish and Subscribe events in Processes and open the diagram.
Click on the processes in the diagram to see the Event Name, Agent, Action etc. They should all
be correctly generated) You need to look at the properties in the instance of the event (in the diagram) and not in the navigator.

Automator Help: Create simple workflow to automate opening random playlist?

I'm fairly inexperienced with Automator. I've figured out how to create some workflows by having it record my actions but this is somewhat limiting. I'm hoping to accomplish something slightly more complex and I've been unable to find an existing thread on this (I may be searching for the wrong terms).
I'm hoping someone here can help me to create an Automator workflow that will:
1.) At a specific time on a specific day of the week (i.e. every Wednesday at 4pm)
2.) Open a randomly selected file from a specified folder (i.e. go to folder "Playlists" and pick one of the 15 .m3u playlists available at random and open it).
Is this possible with Automator? I've read other posts that seem to suggest something like this is possible but I'm having trouble finding the right building blocks in Automator to make it happen. I'm hoping it's fairly simple because I certainly don't want to ask too much of anyone here. Any help would be greatly appreciated but please don't go out of your way if this is a complex or demanding request.
My goal is to create a virtual TV channel of sorts. I'd create specialized playlists (i.e. Wednesdays might be sitcom night whereas Thursdays are Sci-Fi night) and my Mac Mini would automatically open one of the multiple "sitcom" playlists (at random) every Wednesday just before I would get home. I love my Mac Mini and Front Row (and Boxee as of late) but sometimes I would like for my computer to be automated so it feels more like a regular TV channel (but one with programming I'm guaranteed to like).
Thanks everyone. I really appreciate your time and input.

Do you want to randomly select the playlists, or the items within a particular playlist, or both? Making an iCal alarm plug-in with something like the following will play a random item in the specified playlist:
1) Get Specified iTunes Items {add your playlist}
2) Play iTunes Playlist {select shuffle}

Sharepoint 365 simple workflow takes to much time

I got a workflow that is quite short but it takes way to much time.
All it does is in the current list item set a value to 1 and in another list on 2 specific rows do a calculation.
The calculation is for the first row1 = row1 +1 and the other is row2 = row2 -1
Pretty simple but it takes about on average 20 sec to run.
While in production it should work like this :
- people in the list click on the 3 dots ( ... ) column to start the workflow, on the workflow page start the workflow, then when the page flips back / then it should be refreshed.
The problem is, if it doesn't refresh quickly enough, people hit the workflow again (thinking it never fired).
So, I like this workflow run way faster (its so simple why 20 sec, why not 20 ms???),
Or else, after starting it, some sort of wait until the list has really updated. (so don't jump back to the list view until the lists are processed).
Are there ways to solve this performance problem on sharepoint 365 ? (a wait refresh previous page, or speedup method)

The sharepoint workflows I make are always of the type 2013, not 2010.
Since I did some operations over 2 lists, I've changed the workflow now.
After retrieving variables and perform calculations.
I use a parallel block to split the updating of each list table. (its down a little in time but not much still.)
I'm not sure if that is the general way as to improve workflows for speed?.
My reasoning here was, that if updating a lists takes time the other updates have to wait.
So.. well its not yet as fast as I like it to be.
I'm beginning to questioning the performance Microsoft offers in the cloud.
(as to loging cases with MS support, my experiences with that lately is not that good
mostly a redirect to 06-India, people who don't understand the language,
Often unable to understand situations, even if typed out multiple times.
The support here from TechNet web members is a lot better.)

Hi Kuya,
Why not using Alert management if you are in SRM 5.0 :
Supplier Relationship Management -> SRM Server -> Cross-Application Basic Settings -> Event and Event Schema for Alert Management ->....
You should have a look here, you may be able to define event for document status.
For more information on Alert Management, see the SAP Library (SAP R/3 Enterprise, Release 4.70)
under:
SAP-NetWeaver Components ->SAP Web Application Server -> Basis Services / Communication
Interface -> Business Workplace and Services -> Alert Management
Hope this helps,
Kind regards,

A simple workflow process case

What I have done here is a very simple BPMN process with only one human task:
step1.when some delete the record>initiate a process instance.(new a request of deletion)
step2.Administrator login and discover the request,he could approve and reject it.
Following are the questions:
1.How could I pass the parameters to the process through coding when it's initiated, to tell the administrator which record to delete? i.e step1.
2.Assume I have not only one human task here, How could I tell the user logged in could do the operation to the task, such as submit,approve,reject? according to the task system attributes or the role or group he belongs to?

Hi Tom,
Are you working on BPMN? this is a BPEL forum.

Moving from iDVD to DVD Studio Pro...simple workflow question

I have been using iDVD to burn DVDs and want to move to DVDSP. I have been told I have to encode to mpeg 2 since DVDSP does not encode in the background. I know these are simplistic questions and I really appreciate any help. So...I exported a QT ref file, took it to compressor to encode to mpeg 2 for DVD. Compressor spit out 1 movie file with no audio and three audio files. Now what? All the manuals talk about assets and buttons...I will teach myself that. I just need to know the proper workflow from FCP HD to DVD SP. Thanks for any and all help.
Best,
Thomas

There are three ways to generate assets for use in DVDSP.
1. Within FCP invoke: Export>Compressor, select your proper preset and encode.
2. Within FCP invoke: Export Quicktime file>Current settings>self or non-self contained (it doesn't matter under normal circumstances). Open Compressor and import that file and select your proper preset and encode.
3. Within FCP invoke: Export Quicktime file>Current settings>self or non-self contained (it doesn't matter under normal circumstances). Open DVDSP and import the file. DVDSP can encode files and uses the same engine as Compressor. The settings are buried deep in the program USER PREFERENCES. Once imported, DVDSP will create the necessary mpeg and ac3 files.
My preferred process is #2. That way Compressor can do the work in background and I can go back to FCP.
Regarding the audio and video files. You need the m2v file (video) and the AC3 file (audio). The aiff file is the same as the ac3 only much much larger.
good luck.

Simple workflow for creating AIFF?

As a video professional, I've been using iTunes for years to convert mp3 voiceovers and music tracks to AIFF for use in Final Cut Pro. The frustration is that since I also use iTunes for my music library, I always have to change import settings and preferences in order to covert.
Is there a simple way to do the following _without changing settings back and forth_?
a) convert an mp3 (or WAV) to an AIFF
b) have the converted file go my desktop rather than my iTunes folder
c) prevent the converted file from being added to my iTunes library
Again, I know I can do all of this now by changing import settings and then changing them back when I'm done, but all I'm really looking for is a simple Export/Convert option. Does one exist?

If you want to use iTunes (handy since you can preview songs and select in the library), you can use this script -> Convert and Export
"This script converts the files of the selected tracks in iTunes using an encoder of your choice on-the-fly (restoring your Preferences-set encoder afterwards). The newly converted files are then moved to a new location of your choice, and their tracks removed from iTunes."

A simple workflow that fails.

Dear All,
Above is the workflow I created under sharepoint 2010 workflow, basically it doesn't matter which member created the item, it will always start the vacation approval with Timothy Liu, which is the last option, anyone knows why? Thanks
-Timothy Liu
Edit I cant post picture, so I will type it out
Step: Step 1
If Current Item:Created By equals IT Team
Start Vacation Approval process on Current Item with IT Manager
Else if Current Item:Created By equals HR Team
Start Vacation Approval process on Current Item with HR Manager
Else
Start Vacation Approval process on Current Item with Timothy
Liu

Hello,
As jaydeep suggested, it seems there is no OOTB solution for checking user group in designer workflow. So now either you can use codeplex tool, refer this:
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/8296/how-to-check-if-a-user-is-member-of-a-sharepoint-group-inside-spds-wd
OR create VS WF.

Can anyone give me a simple workflow example?

So I need to make a banner (468 x 60) with flash that
basically is just a background, some text, that text disappears and
new text shows up, and then some falling hearts. I've been through
so many tutorials, but I STILL get confused as to the exact
workflow when doing this. I understand about making movie clips,
but do I make a movie clip of a line of text, then what do I do?
How do I make it disappear and a new line of text show up? Should I
do this all on Scene 1 or do I need to somehow animate within the
movie clips? Also, I have a heart that falls and rotates at the
same time - I don't want it to do a full rotation, so I tried
rotating the instance of it in the beginning and have it motion
tween to do a 1/4 rotation, but when I try to animate it, it just
shows it falling and then rotating at the very last frame. Say I
want to show "screen A" of text, then show "screen B" then finally
"Screen C" which includes some hearts animating, can anyone give me
a real basic outline of what to do? I mean, the order I should do
stuff, what needs to be made into a movie clip, what each movie
clip timeline should look like, and what the Scene 1 timeline
should look like. OR if anyone knows of a decent tutorial that
basically shows how to do something like this. Thanks!!! (*puppydog
eyes*)
p.s. i just want the text to fade-in/fade-out unless that is
complicated enough that a flashtard like myself couldn't do it
easily.

wouldn't it make more sense that a flashtard is someone who
just generally sucks at flash and asks idiotic questions?
anyway, so i pretty much got the banner done - but i'm stuck
on one problem. I made a motion clip of a heart, and i want the
heart to fall from top to bottom, following a squiggly motion
guide, and to rotate 1/4 turn on the way. I got it as far as
following the motion guide, but when i try to select the instance
in the first frame and rotate it, shouldn't the motion tween make
it appear to slowly rotate, rather than stay put then rotate 1/4
turn at the last frame? When I select the clip and play around with
alpha and stuff, that works fine. What the heck?
